We often get the question ‘does an MBA make sense for engineers?’ To answer the question, I’ve been working on an upcoming MBA Podcaster show. What kind of personality does it take for an engineer to be admitted and then succeed in business school?

InformationWeek published an interesting article today about Health Information Exchanges (networks for sharing patient information between health-systems) in the United States. Marianne Kolbasuk McGee highlights a specific network , the Western Washington Rural Health Care Collaborative where by virtue of the fact that they use an Information Exchange, the hospitals are able to provide telepharmacy services to each other: The exchange will initially provide the smaller hospitals, some of which have fewer than 25 beds and are located 35 or more miles from other healthcare providers, with telepharmacy services. Patient data, such as allergies, medications, lab results, and demographic information, is collected in a central repository, and pharmacists at one of the facilities can remotely provide assistance to other hospitals.

Establishment of Health Information Exchange Facilitates Telepharmacy Service
From Jeff Jacoby : Of all the ways in which the United States marches to the beat of its own drummer, few are more striking than the American people’s consistent and deep-rooted support for the Jewish state. In a recent nationwide survey , the Gallup organization asked Americans: “In the Middle East situation, are your sympathies more with the Israelis or more with the Palestinians?” For the fourth year in a row, 59 percent — nearly 6 in 10 — said their sympathies were with Israel, while just 18 percent sided with the Palestinians.

For the first time since 2002, the Indians were both buyers and sellers at baseball’s annual Rule 5 Draft. Not only hoping to protect their own players as usual, but also open to adding someone from another organization, the Indians selected two players—including righthander Hector Ambriz from the Diamondbacks—and lost two minor leaguers—including lefthander Chuck Lofgren—to the Giants.

Julie Garner of the University of Washington Alumni Magazine wrote an interesting article about the use of a central telepharmacy site in Bellevue to improve pharmacy services in the state of Washington: Bellegrove started telepharmacies at the Mattawa Clinic and Wenatchee Valley Medical’s Royal City Clinic in 2008. Here’s how it works: The Bellegrove pharmacist talks with technicians and patients at the clinics through the Internet. The techs then fax prescriptions and insurance information to the pharmacist in Bellevue, who provides approval and instructions for filling the prescriptions.

Watson’s Personal Care Stores , the largest health care and beauty care chain store in Asia, has posted a job listing for a pharmacy technician at a Singapore location: The successful candidate’s primary responsibility will be to provide telepharmacy services at Pharmacy stores. You will assist Pharmacists in preparing and dispensing medications to customers via Teleconferencing, as well as to assist in the maintenance of the dispensary to fulfill legal requirements. It sounds like it’s just a tech position, and they are calling patient conferencing by a pharmacist via telecommunications “telepharmacy.” Still, very cool and this is the first I’ve heard of this in use in Asia!

A recent Time article came out about the over-abundance of college graduates – and their under-employability. In these tough economic times, unemployment rates for recent 4-year graduates is at a record high of 10.6% – and employers are becoming dismissive about degrees and more centered on work experience. And, according to some career and education experts, a 4-year bachelor’s degree may simply not be the best choice for everyone. Other options, such as vocational or technical school , may provide a much better experience. The combination of job-specific skills, career placement services and a quicker completion time can be a powerful advantage – particularly in a high-growth area such as healthcare ! Companies are looking for employees who can’t be outsourced – and that includes many that have hands-on skills that must be performed locally, the kinds of skills learned at a career college . A college degree can still be a strong asset in the workforce – but, as many career experts are beginning to emphasize, it’s not the only option and, for many people, it’s not the best option.
